July 1, 2012 - "The Egyptian Theater"

spotted near the Oregon Coast

June 30, 2012 - "Mr. Scarecrow And Friend"

June 29, 2012 - "Mrs. Scarecrow"

This was shot yesterday morning after our sunrise shoot at the Lake Grapevine Marina.

June 28, 2012 - "Smoke In Air"

This was shot 3 hours ago over the marina at Lake Grapevine in Texas. It looks like some of the smoke from the Colorado fires has reached our area as the sun strength was quite diffused this morning. It was also a balmy 84 degrees Fahrenheit.

June 27, 2012 - "The Cotton Mill"

This was shot last week while walking McKinney, Texas.

"Cotton mills became the key to industrializing the post-reconstruction South in the 1880s. In the 1960's, McKinney's Cotton Mill (producing Texas Textile Fabrics) was the largest denim manufacturer in the World. The Mill closed it's doors in 1969."

The factory is now an office complex and venue for special events.

Additional info -
-After the tornado in 1948, the windows on the mill were
tinted blue to help combat the sun and the tremendous
heat inside the building.
-During World War II, about 30 percent of the mill production
was for tents for the Army.
-One factor that played a part in the mill’s demise was
the fact that the blue dye used to color the cotton was
seeping into the town’s water supply; sometimes people’s
water turned a bright blue.
-prominent cotton buyer from McKinney, a Mr.
Dowell, lost a huge sum of money when the cotton he
had sent to a mill in England was lost in the sinking of
the Lusitania Luxury Liner in May of 1915.
